linking 2 wireless routers
i have just bought a wireless belkin adsl router. I have plugged this in and can access the internet wirelessly fine. However the coverage does not extend throughout the house. I have a Linksys wireless router that I want to use to extend the range. I have turned off dhcp on the linksys and configured it as a gateay rather than router. I have set both routers to use the same ssid and the same channel. However these routers do not seem to be talking to each other. If I run a cable from the lan port of the belkin to the lan port of the linksys it works fine, the linksys acts as a switch as it should but it won't do this wirelessly. Is there any reason, am i missing something stupid? I have used the linksys as a wireless switch before - I enabled internet connection sharing on the desktop attached to a usb wireless dongle. The linksys box was happy then to broadcast the network across the house, it just won't seem to talk with the belkin.
Thanks for any help
